1. Many are pathological liars.
2. Others are Psychopaths, or Sociopaths.
3. Some are legally insane & make no sense, because they have no sense of reality.

The answer is just as stupid. They continue to lie in spite of being caught red-handed is because they are hoping somebody will believe them anyway and/or that the persons who caught them will suddenly develop brain damage and forget what they saw.
In essence - thats the scoop on the matter.

Every criminal is bound to think that they have the chance to out smart the criminal justice system. Even though they know they are guilty as hell, they psychologically think they aren't.
Or just the typical reason to have a defense attorney try to discredit the prosecutions case in hope of having their client be free.

The whole idea is to avoid responsibility. It does seem stupid to normal thinking people, but antisocial individuals do not think like you and I do. They tend to be concrete thinkers, seeing only black and white. Most are manipulative and getting others to believe their story is the highest form of "getting over on everyone else".

becuase they figure they have nothing to lose at that point. The know that if they admit it then the burden of proof no longer applies because they just plead guily and confessed but if they lie they still have a smally chance to wiggle around the system and get off.

Mostly because they are evil vermine and if they repeat the lie over and over to them it becomes reality..most criminals are in the double digit iq's anyhoo. There's been no one like John Dillenger Public Enemy #1 !!!! He just had to stay away from the red dress!!!

they think they can get away with it all the time - this makes them hard core criminals - there are even few instances where criminals lied on the gas chamber and on the electric chair!

it is a criminal characteristic
I have often been amazed by people who deny doing some thing whilst they are doing it
and this does not only apply to criminals

Criminals caught 'with their pants down'?
I guess we're referring to sex crimes here, eh?
What other criminal would commit a crime 'sans' pants?
I'm confused.
Curse my short attention span!
